It was a great holiday weekend with my family. We talked about my sister's wedding in Boston on Memorial Day weekend, my brother's wedding in Columbus and that my Mom turns seventy the next week. We cooed over my youngest brother's seven-week daughter who sleeps, eats and farts. I worked with my Dad in his yard and planted some things, most of which won't make it but we did it for him and his cousin. We talked of my "what's next" plans and options and I didn't get any further in decisions but it is nice to have support and other wheels turning for me.
I didn't miss studying but did miss signing. When with people who don't know how I often find myself flummoxed that I can't convey a request or idea silently and easily. This amuses me, especially that I have so much to learn and still feel like the toddler with unsure footing bumping into furniture. Regardless, if it is a language not known, communication still ceases.
I had a great lunch at a Thai restaurant Monday and my to-do list grew by leaps and bounds. There is still so much to accomplish! That is one thing I like about the language and about interpreting, it is constant growth and learning. It isn't "turn the widget one-quarter turn and move to the next one". It is alive, dynamic and exciting.
Now if I could just find where I misplaced my gnome to help me with my homework I'll be set!
